Lindens and Rain

It was mostly an indoor day today with rain beating down on and off all day. We had an outing to the flea market where I got my hair cut. I also got a bunch of cooler bandanas at a really great price. The other day when we were coming here I got Carm to wear a damp towel around his neck as it was just that hot, and he sweats that much! The towel worked wonders and reminded me of the cooler bandanas that I had years ago. I thought they'd be good for us (and the dogs) if we ran into some really hot weather on our trip. And as luck would have it I found a vendor that was willing to bargain ;-)

While we were there we ran into Trudie and Leo so we all headed back to the camper for a quick lunch.

Oh... I've narrowed down the source of my all night stomach aches :-( quinoa. I LOVE quinoa, but it does not like me. AT ALL. Carm did a bit of reading this morning that suggested that even though the stuff I buy is pre-rinsed, it might help to rinse it more, and maybe even soak it for the day with a tiny bit of acid, then rinse it some more. I guess I'm up for trying one more time, but I'm not looking forward to it...

Those trees I mentioned yesterday - Trudie says they are Lindens (I'll have photos tomorrow). The park is dotted with them so I may try to collect some seeds this fall and try planting a few at home.
